May 22 (GMM) Max Mosley made a low-key return to the formula one world at Monaco on Wednesday, with some paddock regulars forgiven for not even noticing he was about.

Britain's The Times said the scandal-gripped 68-year-old's presence was the sport's version of "Where's Wally? Where's Max?", the News International publication teased.

More visible was Mosley's official spokesman Richard Woods, who insisted that the FIA president held "business as usual" meetings in the race control building on Wednesday and would probably have a higher profile later on.

Mosley apparently met with team bosses Stefano Domenicali and Flavio Briatore, while another - BMW's Mario Theissen - believed Mosley's presence would quickly become a non-story.
